Somber contemplating a new Wil Wheaton book without the guiding hand of Andrew Hackard

“Apollo 10 1/2,” Richard Linklater’s new film, set in 1969, is a fanatical catalogue of mass culture. Re-runs, test patterns, Saturday-morning cartoons, and Dick Cavett’s Janis Joplin interview all figure in the action. nyer.cm/sqI6iMn

I'd missed that it is the 50th anniversary of Houston's shire themed gastropub, the Hobbit Cafe. It's everything you would wish for in a place called the Hobbit Cafe. texasmonthly.com/food/houston-h…

Houston to Bulverde, cleared as filed

With equiraptor and Nugget. Texas is dry. I can’t drink enough water. The Sprite ran weirdly richer as the day went on. No disasters though, it kept-on like the Stiff Brit it is!

Richard Linklater's Before Sunrise pitch to Ethan Hawke
